Sky Q: everything you need to know

Always fighting over the remote? Want the beautiful game to look even more beautiful? You need Sky Q – the new TV package built for family life, football and the latest 4K TVs…

The luxury Sky Q is packed with technology to help you watch what you want, when you want, where you want.

For example, you can record multiple channels while watching another live, or watch something on your TV then pick up where you left off on your iPad.

And with the 2017/17 season in super-sharp 4K resolution on Sky Sports, it’s one of the best ways to watch football.

Football and films in 4K UHD on Sky Q

Thinking of buying a 4K TV? Sky Q gives you some real incentive to go ahead. To get the best from 4K, you need content that was recorded, shot or mastered in the resolution. Sky Q, alongside Netflix and Amazon Prime, now has that content.

Football fans will love to watch the 2017/18 season in 4K on Sky Sports ­ – last season over 100 matches were shown with 4 times the detail of HD. Movie buffs can meanwhile enjoy the latest blockbusters and classics too.

How to get it

The Sky Q box comes in two choices – 1TB or 2TB. To watch 4K UHD content you need to choose the 2TB option.

Monthly packages start at £22 a month but the Sky Q 2TB box costs £199 for set up and installation. Football fans can add Sky Sports £27.50 per month.
